Simulation Services at Babcock & Wilcox
Article Abstract:
Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) offer simulation training and other simulation-related services. B&W have been involved in the development of various simulation languages. STACSL can be used for applications involving matrix techniques, the need to switch from stiff to non-stiff systems, and has extensive diagnostic capabilities. B&W has also developed several programs for Probability Risk Analysis (PRA). The DOE-2 program is used for energy simulation. B&W has a nuclear power plant simulator for training technicians. A number of courses and training programs for engineers and other technical personnel are also offered. Photographs of training in progress are included.

Simulation of Nonlinear Differential Equation Systems
Article Abstract:
A low-cost hybrid method is described for implementing delays and convolution integrals as part of nonlinear differential equations on an analogue computer. A Z80 based unit is employed for storage of data tables and kernel functions and mode control of the problem. The technique is illustrated using the logistic equation and its generalisation. The results are compared with analytic approximations which are developed later in this paper.
